Northern Virginia Roll Call

I can't find anything else anywhere about their trails being closed. I have also searched jeep forums and YouTube videos that both show or mention trail riding this time of year. I'll go check it out tmorrow if I'm free. Here is a primitive( and maybe the only) map of Sleep Creek with the trails marked. I believe it is from the 1970s. Lol

ORANGE marks the 2 ways I entered the park last year to fish the lake.(I-81 north to Inwood,WV exit)

GREEN marks the way I've entered a few years ago riding with a buddy in 2 ft of snow.(I-81 north to 37 north to 522 north. Then turn right at Reynolds Store)

PURPLE marks the lakeside campsites.

BLUE marks a couple of trails that when connected will loop back towards the campground. I have seen both ends of this blue line connected trail. There are gates at both ends(Not sure of the degree of difficulty as I've never wheeled here. There are a couple of YouTube videos showing powerline part of the trails.)

 

Axles got finished up today!

 

Dayum.

 

I decided to report my finger mashing this morning to get it looked at and see how bad it was as a general CYA. The last time I had fingers swell up like this one, I mashed my right pinkie and ring finger between a couple gas cylinders back in 2009.

I went to talk to my boss at 0830, and I hoped it would be a simple process of having the base clinic doctor look at it and get a couple x-rays. Unfortunately, the doctor was out today, and I had to start all the Work Comp paperwork and go to the local ER. I didn't get back from the ER until 1330. It took about 60-90 minutes to find the forms that I needed and fill them out before I could even head to the ER. X-rays show the bone is definitely broken, and I have a follow up appointment on Wednesday with an Orthopedic doctor. Hopefully, I'll have the claim number before then, so I don't have to pay out of pocket.

 

That’s clean looking dude nice job.

 

Just a suggestion:
If you guys met a little farther up I-66west at Haymarket exit, then all of you could meet and roll up together. @Truggin & I can meet y'all at the McDonald's right off the Inwood exit when ya get off I-81north

 

Sounds like a solid plan to me!

 

I can meet there

 

Damn, hope you have a speedy recovery. Hardest part will be to leave it alone so it can heal.

 

Yeah, that was my son and me. We really liked Bald Mountain.

 

Haha. Yeah. They gave me a splint and some tape to keep it immobile. They also gave me a script for 800mg Ibuprofen and another for Tramadol. Maybe I'll get them filled tomorrow. I've got Ibuprofen at the house, so I don't see the point of paying for a prescription when I can just take enough pills to get the same dose. Also, not sure about the heavy duty pain killers. I had a prescription for Hydrocodone when I smashed my right hand in 09, and I only ever took 1 pill. That hurt more than this, and I only took the pill about a month or more afterwards when I whacked my hand on a door frame walking around the house.

 

Hey man anytime you guys wanna run bald mtn and want someone else to tag along hit me up. I only live 20 mins from it.

 

Thanks man, I would like to hit up Bald Mtn again early April. I’ll be sure to hit you up if it works out.

 

i might be down for that

 

I’ll just leave this here for the entertainment factor.....

 

When he comes back to his "truck", you need to walk up to him and give him one of these

 

He's really feelin it after watching that Explorer go to the finals on Truck Night in America last night!

 

Outside of Berryville, on Shepherds Mill Road.

 

That works for me.
